Am I limited to a nickle finish light bar? I really like the bronze but can't use bronze faucets. Our water is too hard and the bronze would look awful in no time. We do have a water softener, but we still get some hard water once in a while.

I am not sure why you can't use bronze. We have hard water and have bronze faucets and no water softener. I just use Lime Away about every 3 weeks, just to make sure nothing builds up. (not that anything has). We have had them about 9 months with no problems.

You could use chrome, at least both are cool toned. I'd stick with nickle though.

There are not any rules find a fixture(s) you like. The web has plenty of choices.

I would stick with the nickel. It definitely looks different than chrome - more silvery maybe... But, then again have two both baths in chrome and thought about the bronze for a light fixture - but, decided to do all one finish. Probably looks a little more finished. I am happy with my choice. And, trust me, I am NOT a matchy matchy person.

I prefer everything to be the same finish.

I'd stick with something in a similar finish.

@mima, I recently redid my master bathroom. I was not a huge brushed nickel fan either but I had put in a large shower panel with water jets and the panel was brushed nickle. I went with the same finish in faucets, towel bar and lights. It has really grown on me. I think it looks more pulled together with the same finish. I quite like it now. I'm not a match your match person either. LM

I have all brushed niclel in my bath & love it, don't think I would have liked to mix metals, but that's just me, do what you like.

9 months isn't that long to boast about faucets (with hard water and without a water softener) not getting yucky. OP, I think you should stick with nickle lights to match everything else.
